  1. I use the EEZTIRE TPMS. But most of these are very similar. The "recommended interval" for changing the batteries is one year. But, I simply leave mine until I start to get a loss of signal notification. Since I always carry spare batteries with me while on the road it is simple to change them. Note that I also remove the wheel sensors and batteries when I am not planning on using my Ollie for a month or so. Even though the sensors should not be transmitting a signal when there isn't movement in the wheel, I feel better knowing that the contacts are not being subjected to humidity, heat, cold, etc. On another note - I have never needed a booster for the EEZTIRE transmitter. However, these signals that are being sent from these small transmitters can experience some loss of signal during very wet weather, snow, and heavy traffic. In addition, depending on the types of things that are being carried in both the tow vehicle an/or the Oliver, signals can be weakened. Bill
  2. Well - I don't know. Since this list was being compiled from recommendations submitted by Oliver Owners and primarily submission was via the Forum I really don't see that many recommendations when scanning the thread. It should be a fairly simple matter to simply copy these names down if you're interested. Good luck! Bill
  3. And - this is why in at least one video by Jason Essary (Service Manager) he recommends that owners disconnect this plug from the tow vehicle when stopped for over a few hours. This is due to the fact that even while the tow vehicle is shut off the Oliver batteries can still draw power from the tow vehicle and, therefore deplete the tow vehicle battery. Bill
  4. HDRIDER - As per the very first post in this thread by Matt Duncan, Oliver was/is in the process of collecting this information. To my knowledge - any names on this collected list have not been published to date. Bill
  5. OOPS! It has been brought to my attention (thanks Mossemi) that you have an Elite I. Therefore, my "confusion" is somewhat mollified.🤪 Bill
  6. This confuses me a bit - If you have OTT installed panels - I assume that you have two of them on your roof? If that is the case then you have more than "200" watts up there to start with. Bill
  7. You might try a PM to Patriot - I believe that he has this genny. Give him a couple of days for reply in that I believe that he is currently on the road. Bill
  8. For a time those gaskets were being replaced under warranty. I'm not sure as to which dates are/were covered though. Obviously, a service ticket or call to the Service department will get you the answer. Good luck! Bill
  9. Very nice job - almost to the point of being lovely.
  10. Ya got pics of that beauty? Glad that you're back with us. Bill
  11. A quick search provided THIS. And, I'm sure that there are more. Bill
  12. And here I thought that you were working on building those quads!😉
  13. NandN Sounds like it took you long enough to find us. You've found a family and (probably) your "forever" camper. Glad you're here! Bill
  14. 2023 F-150 Lariat 6.5 foot bed, 3.5 liter Ecoboost engine, max tow, FX4 (mild offroad 4x4), power tailgate with entry steps, power runningboards.
  15. Isn't "wrap" just about the same stuff that we used to listen to in the bars/coffee houses of Greenwich Village - but - it was "performed" by beatniks?
  16. Given that the basic design of the twin turbos in the Tundra and the F-150 are the same - I can concur that I've never had a single issue towing with this type of engine since 2011 (two different Ford Ecoboost engines). And, when not towing the Elite II these twin turbos really are a blast to drive when you even think about putting your foot to the floor. Bill
  17. I believe what we have here is a failure to communicate. HDRider is asking if there is a way to turn off the entire water supply to the outside shower while FrankC is referring to the knobs/handles that are located on the outside shower itself that allow for water to flow from the outside showerhead when turned on. Bill
  18. For what its worth - I've been told by the folks at Voyager that they have redesigned the seals on the camera which should take care of the leaking problem. We'll see ...... Bill
  19. So, there we were yesterday morning.... sitting in a booth having breakfast only an hours drive from the beach where we had just spent a nice quiet week enjoying the surf, waves, reading, and all things relaxing. First we noticed just how loud the diner's "music" was. Next we noticed just how BAD the music was. This resulted in a conversation about how our parents didn't appreciate OUR music just as we were not appreciating whatever this stuff was blaring from the overhead speakers. Certainly the Beatles could not compare to Frank! There was nothing in that 60's and 70's music that cold compare to Big Bands or even classical for that matter. I don't even know the name of that "screech owl" I was being forced to listen to, but, I do know that my music was real music and it was and is better!😁
  20. Been there - done that. I'll try to get you a pic soon. However, be forewarned - The cover that I did really didn't help with moisture in that my second camera also leaked! Having said that - the cover does help with glare and sun. Bill
  21. SomeDaySoon - Thank you for joining - it wasn't really very difficult (Was it?). Certainly we can use any help that you are willing to provide to include your knowledge of Canada's National Parks. If your goal really is to see all there is in Canada and the USA - I'd strongly recommend that you get started. Every single time I hit the road I see something new and that's even if I go back to the same place that I've been before. Simply put - there is not enough time and the sooner you get to it I'm guessing that there will be even more for you to find. If there is anything that we can do to help your journey - please - ask. Welcome! Bill
  22. See my reply to your other post about the camera. The wiring can be accessed via the attic. You will need to remove the two self tapping screws/bolts at the bottom of the left (curbside) panel and pull down the insulation. You should be able to locate where the wires from the camera come through the roof. Follow those wires about a foot to 18 inches and you should come to the pin connector I mention in the other post. Bill
  23. Chris - Hopefully its not too late - but - I'd email ASA (assuming that this is the camera you are talking about) and tell then that your camera has a moisture leak. Chances are they will tell you to send it in (with a return authorization number). They will "test" it for the failure you told them about and if it has really failed they will send you a new camera. This process takes right around 7 business days including the shipping time. Good luck! Bill p.s. unless you cut the wiring then the camera is connected to the power wiring via a "pin connector". Simply depress the latch on the side of the connector and pull it apart. The new camera will simply plug right back into that connector. Then just follow the instructions above to get the new camera to "pair" with the monitor.
  24. Patriot is also currently in Colorado - around Rocky Mountain National Park. That's a bit away from you guys - but - ya never know. Bill
  25. you could get a couple of inches by simply dropping the rear bumper. Unfortunately, I do not presently have access to my Oliver in order to measure how much distance you'd get by removing the Bulldog assembly. Obviously, you could either do a short (2 foot) "bump-out" at either the front or back of the garage to gain the extra room needed. Good luck. Bill
